Dan Goleman, world renowned psychologist and author, is the guru of Emotional Intelligence. After all, he actually wrote the best-selling book “Emotional Intelligence,” a book that’s sold over 5 million copies and was named one of the 25 most influential business management books by Time Magazine.
Dan believes, as do I, that improving your emotional intelligence will make you a better leader. That’s right up my alley! The entire reason I do this podcast is to help you become a better nonprofit leader. It’s why I named my online platform for leaders of small and mid-sized nonprofits the Nonprofit Leadership Lab.
So let’s say we all agree that higher emotional intelligence leads to better leadership. How do we improve our emotional intelligence? Maybe you think it’s innate and not something you can improve?
Turns out, there are totally ways to get better at this and that’s exactly what Daniel and I discuss how to do on today’s episode.
